Wah pedal in jazz! Who does that? Hardly anyone does mute on trumpet either anymore like Bubber Miley. Old fashioned and maybe cheezy but I dig this more than straight ahead, subdued, no bends jazz guitar.

Xmonad with XFCE in no-desktop mode.

I can use the xfce tools to configure things like mouse and screen settings, but visually it's just xmonad.

Check out this 3d printed one. So much bass from a small object!

Pomodoro technique. Basically set a timer to do work for 20 mins (or even 10 minutes), then take a break. Then do it again. Sometimes this can get you over the initial hurdle of getting started. Once you get into the task you may not want to take a break anymore.

A similar trick is if you think of something else to do that's timewasting, like posting on lemmy (lol), then its ok to do it - but only after working for 10 minutes. You can still do those things but prioritize getting something done first.

Another one: go to the library to work. Initially all you have to do is go, not do the task itself. Then you're there, and there's nothing to do except for work. This can turn into card games in the library cafe lol, but then you have to choose a less popular place.

kind of too bad, it wasn't what I'd call a great movie, but it did hold my interest. haven't seen another one like it, I'll say that lol.

the two on the left are a sort of bassoon precursor (dulcian), the two on the right are racketts.

Great version of this classic jam tune.

I'm mainly interested in old time fiddle tunes. I get them from youtube recommends sometimes, or from going to jams and hearing a cool tune, or someone I play with wants to learn a tune. I often post tunes I like on my old-time music lemmy community.

Yes that's a nice thing to fix a problem with a software update. But isn't it funny how the possibility of updating after purchase seems to mean that products ship without really being well tested. If there's no possibility of fixing problems once something is in the field, then you make damn sure it works before it goes out the door.

I don't mind most marine mammals, but sea lions? I could do without sea lions.

What I'd like is for Kamala to get in office and appoint a wicked sharp attorney general who would aggressively prosecute anyone associated with Jan 6 and Trumps many other crimes.

However, I predict Trump will get off scott free as he always has and continue being a rallying focus point for the extreme right wing. But there will be no widespread uprising. There will be legal challenges to the election, which will all fail.

If Trump survives long enough he'll try to run again in 2028, and if he can't run he'll try to mess things up for any republican candidate. He'll continue to throw a monkey wrench into any legislation that would make Democrats look good, either to improve his chances next election or just for spite.

Judy Hyman played this tune on Bob Carlin's Banging and Sawing record back in 1996, and here it is again in 2024, Ithaca style.

Nice twin fiddle version of this tune, which is apparently from the english ballad.

Ripping version of this mississippi tune from "Jeb and Mark" plus Andy on bass according to the comments. No idea who's playing guitar. No one looks up!

carter brothers version.

Tractor Family version, Ithaca style.

 

Frank Fairfield really gets an old timey sound.
